LOS BORICUAS

NO EXCUSES

The sea and o

Puerto Rico has a mix of different cultures that have led to many different traditions. Sailing has been a way of transportation since even the discovery of our island. A mix of different ages, experiences, and styles can lead to a diverse range of expectations. Even though our island might be small, our hearts and passion for this sport have no borders. Our SSL team comprises sailors that have had experience from Olympic to youth levels. Coming together as one and working as a team will be important as some have never been a part of something so big and/or a boat of such magnitude and technicality. This will be a new motivation for our youth sailors and perhaps can ignite the spark our sport needs.
